Logan,

Thanks for the link. I was shocked when Brice accused Michael and other expeditions like his as being shoddy, giving Everest a bad name. Can you tell I'm a little protective of Mike??

I think who DID and still does give Everest a bad name is George Dijmarescu. He is a pig, as shown in the pictures. He looks like (and IS) a wife beater.

I'm currently in Chapter 10. It's been slow reading for me, because I get so emotional reading about any bad happening to Carolyn or Mike, that I cry and have to put it down. Depression, don't ya know.

If you'd like, send the book along and I'll have him sign it and I'll send it back.

Donna - when I read the review, is seems that Michael's expedition was being called shoddy because the guy who told Michael that knew that George Dijmarescu was leading it. It was no reflection on Michael at all, the way I read it.

And Michael was told this by a fellow name - Russell? - the Wyatt Earp of base camp, as he was called. I think Michael was being warned, not blamed.
